County to place local road-improvement millage on August primary ballot
Summary
The Roscommon County Board adopted Resolution 2026-03-02 to place a five-year local road-improvement millage question (up to 0.4760 mills) on the Aug. 4, 2026 primary ballot; county staff estimated 2026 revenue at $897,228.42 if levied.
Roscommon County commissioners voted to place a local road-improvement millage question on the August 4, 2026 primary ballot. Clerk Michelle read Resolution 2026-03-02, which seeks voter authorization to levy up to 0.4760 mills for five years to fund local road maintenance and rebuilding.
The resolution notes the requested millage is reduced from the prior 0.5000 mills because of Headlee rollbacks and would be levied for the period 2026 through 2030. The clerk read the ballot language and an estimated 2026 revenue figure of $897,228.42. After a brief clarification between commissioners about the rollback calculation, the board adopted the resolution by roll call (Morley: Yes; Milburn: Yes; Wolfson: Yes). Commissioners said road maintenance and partnership with townships were primary justifications for placing the question before voters.
The resolution also notes that the Roscommon Downtown Development Authority may capture the portion of the millage collected within its district boundaries, consistent with state law.
